The former 'American Idol' contestant, Grammy and Oscar winner can now add "author" to her already impressive resume. Hudson signed a book deal with Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Group, for the as-yet untitled book.
The WeightWatchers spokeswoman has been very vocal about her dramatic 80-pound weight loss, telling AOL Music, "It's like being introduced to a whole new world in every single way you can imagine." "There's a whole lot more opportunities, people are more friendly," she adds.
JHud also credited her slimmed down figure for her improved singing claiming, "When I was in high school, I could do (sing) the whole piano. Now I've lost weight my voice is getting back to that same state."
